OK so I did a search on learning the stuff and getting licensed for HAM, but dont see any answers to my questions. I would like to know how other people have done it. I am mostly interested in online reading and testing. Links would be cool as well.

Allison and I did the practice tests online and were able to get to a point that we were confident we'd pass the real test once taken. We also did the Ham class the Nathaniel and Dave did for the club a while back and learned a lot in it.

I'd say the way to do it with minimum investment is to do the technicians online practice tests until you are passing cleanly, then just go take the test at the location nearest you.
